So. Tonight, our Lurk got shanked by an Eel while trying to steal a few documents from a merchant. A really bad roll followed, and she ended with a stiletto in the lung, ending up narrowly avoiding death.
The Eel in turn got done in by a head-shot by the Hound.
Then the Bluecoats showed up and the Hound and the Slide decided to run interference while the Lurk was extracted by the gang. The Hound then attempted a Wreck action on the powerlines of the street lights.
In a Desperate situation, she rolled snake eyes, and the whole thing exploded. The Slide then rolled snake eyes on the Sway roll to persuade the locals to hide them from the ‘coats.
The entire evening of failure ended with an insane shoot-out on the eastern Crow’s Foot Bridge, with the Hound giving her it all as an escaped character from Sin City.
21 dead Bluecoats. That rained some serious heat on the crew.
Fortunately, a Devil’s Bargain meant that someone cleaned up the entire mess, and removed most of the wrath that would have accompanied the players.
All in all, love this game. And the new rules are awesome.
That’s wonderful. That’s how you handle failure in Blades! Well done.
